APRILIAPegaso 650ie Tuscany Tibet 2003 - 2003

　　In 2003, the Italian motorcycle maker introduced the Aprilia Pegaso 650ie Tuscany Tibet, a motorcycle designed for riders searching for a machine more suitable for off-road riding. In addition, the bike was fitted with a large aluminum top box for extra storage.

　　The bike's visual department was similar to previous models, packing standard fittings, such as a half fairing with a trapezoidal headlight, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, an engine plate, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The bike was built around an aluminum frame with a 45 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs Boje shock absorber on the rear with APS, offering excellent handling capabilities.

　　Braking-wise, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 300 mm brake disc on the front and a 220 mm disc on the rear. The rear one was handled by a single-piston caliper, while the one from the front was engaged by a dual-piston caliper.

　　As for the power figures, the 2003 Aprilia Pegaso 650ie Tuscany Tibet delivered 50 hp with a peak force at 7,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm, coming from a 652cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder powerhouse.

　　The power generated by the engine was sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual gearbox and a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to 179 kph (111 mph).
